But Paul goes further: he’ll propose immediately freezing spending by numerous government agencies at 2006 levels, the last time Republicans had complete control of the federal budget, and drastically reducing spending elsewhere. The EPA would see a 30 percent cut, the Food and Drug Administration would see one of 40 percent and foreign aid would be zeroed out immediately. He’d also take an ax to Pentagon funding for wars................................[LEFT]

When I first read your title, I read it as
Ron Paul's plan to set the country back
I was like,
I'd rephrase it to state:
Paul's plan moves the country Forward

I read the lists and disagreed with more than a couple of what I would call crackpot ideas. Your failed claim that I did not listen hence should not have replied is a typical tactic of those attempting to nulify another posters words. FYI, I did not post to you I posted to the OP of this thread to thank them for the info, it just got under your skin that the information did not have the desired affect but had the opposite. I was interested in Paul from what I heard up to this week, then I saw more details and I am no longer interested in the man as an alternative. FYI, this entire debate is pointless since the right will be forced to vote for a Neo-Con, Romney. Enjoy

The post was so inaccurate it was laughable.

Simply absurd to say this

I'll ask again since you didn't pay attention the first time.

Who are the republicans or democrats running for office that believe in big government cuts besides Ron Paul?
answer none

Which candidate running for office wants to cut out of control military spending besides Ron Paul?
answer none

Simply amazing the amount of people blind to the facts.

In an earlier post you correctly mention the benefits given to corporations.

"Corporations pretty much "own" and control our cities with all of their "chain outlets." Mayors and council members make "deals" with corporations and offer them "freebies" and tax breaks so they will open "big box" stores in their cities...Small business owners don't get these kinds of "breaks." Most people have to go to work for corporations or take various level government jobs because it's not easy to "stay in business" as a small business anymore."


Keep government out of the economy business. They have proven to be utter failures and they assist their buddies.

but then you mention this

Politicians force us to make decisions based on their unsound policies. I love a divided Congress. That means they can't manipulate us as easily. Why have government run our lives? They've done a horrible job.

treat the cause, not the symptom - Stop our over reaching Big Federal Government from running our lives into the ground.
